In just ten years, Cumbria's Kendal Calling has established itself as one of the country's best loved festivals. With big names and upcoming musicians on the bill, a huge effort is undertaken to transform the lakeside site into something a bit different and the impressive roster of comedy, theatre and DJs means punters will never get bored.

Last year even featured a special hairdresser on sight with other additions including the new Lost Eden area and two new stages, as well as arguably the greatest ever pre party - the Kendalino express.

The Kendal Calling line up is as impressive as ever, the finer points we've selected for our Spotify playlist above. This year sees Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds swoop in with fellow Manchester legends The Charlatans, whilst also topping the bill are '80s hit machine Madness and Brit award winning drum and bassers Rudimental. 

The supporting cast also makes for an aural treat. Bands of the moment Catfish and the Bottlemen and Blossoms are involved, represented by 'Kathleen' and 'Charlemagne' respectively, whilst other party starting hits include 'Trick Me' from Kelis. It's got us sashaying round the office pretending we're swaying in the Lake District.
